Source: @IsraelMFA\/X<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Speaking to a delegation of young German leaders visiting Jerusalem, Sa\u2019ar said: \u201cThere is a new obsession in the world, and mainly in Europe, that lacks any geopolitical logic. We are facing three terrorist states, a unique phenomenon in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want you to understand, there are not simply terror organizations. Terror organizations that control land and populations become terrorist states, and it\u2019s like comparing between neo-Nazis that exist in the world today and the Nazi regime who controlled a territory and people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli foreign minister went on to state that \u201cthe terrorist states in Gaza, Lebanon and Yemen have not yet been dismantled, but some people are quick to suggest that we will establish a Palestinian terror state in the heart of our tiny homeland. It means two kilometers from the place we are sitting right now, it would control the topography over all our population centers, and this is what they suggested after Oct. 7, even though it\u2019s clear that such an experiment would only lead to another terror state,\u201d referring to the Hamas-led invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Ron Prosor, Israel\u2019s ambassador to Germany, is accompanying the youth delegation, which was organized by the European Division of Israel\u2019s Foreign Ministry and the Israeli Embassy in Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>The visit marks&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jns.org\/israel-germany-mark-60-years-of-relations-with-state-visits\/\">60 years<\/a>&nbsp;of diplomatic ties between Jerusalem and Berlin and aims to deepen future leaders\u2019 understanding of the \u201cIsraeli story.\u201d The delegation will visit educational sites and hear testimonies from Oct. 7 survivors, including singer and Nova festival massacre survivor Yuval Raphael, who performed for and spoke to the group on Sunday.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media-oembed-video\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-1\" title=\"X Post\" data-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=JNS_org&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-1&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1990322079204593838&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jns.org%2Fisraeli-fm-palestinian-state-would-be-a-terror-state%2F&amp;sessionId=ee64cec1e8a3166e794ece77b6937bdce7bd7187&amp;siteScreenName=JNS_org&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1990322079204593838\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>&gt;German Chancellor&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jns.org\/german-leader-vows-to-stand-with-israel-as-part-of-western-alliance\/\">Friedrich Merz<\/a>&nbsp;spoke on Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, shortly after urging Berlin to \u201cstand with Israel\u201d as part of a renewed \u201cWestern alliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The call was \u201cgood and friendly,\u201d focusing on \u201cdiplomatic and regional issues,\u201d Netanyahu\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px;
